A Special Anniversary

While today is not any special day, I started writing this blog on November 4th, 2009. I have kept it up for seventeen years and counting now. Throughout living and working in seven different countries and marrying a Colombian/Spanish dual citizen. We now have a five year old daughter who is going on twenty five. I live in Pamplona Spain.

If you would have told me seventeen years ago that my life would have turned out this way, I would have said that you were crazy. I only planned to move to Australia for a year and then return home to Texas. I have gone through many ups and downs. I have written a lot and a little, but always continued to write through it all.

I have had some serious health issues since 2020. Yet, I am still here. My life is not easy but I am making serious progress after six years of stagnation. There is still hope for me. I have to continue exercising and working hard both mentally and physically six days a week, in order to prevent my brain from going dormant again. Life is worth living again. I am motivated to get better, even if I never get back to normal life. I am doing this not only for myself but for everyone around me. I am no longer a passive prisoner of my health conditions. Everyone around me doesn't deserve to be prisoners of my health conditions either. If no one around me has given up on me, I can't give up on myself either. 

Til next time, Tyler
